@doombox Smash was probably one of the first rock albums I ever heard. My older brother had borrowed it from his friend. I don't remember any of the other songs, but "Come out and play" and "Self-esteem" are major classics in my book  
 
The first music I ever bought.... man, it was a long time ago, but I want to say it was The Lion King Soundtrack.. on cassette.. lol
 
As for Japanese music... I could not remember, so I searched through my old e-mails. I believe this was my first order.
 

 
REDЯUM and BUGY CRAXONE are still two of my most favourite indie-ish bands. Sadly they don't seem to get much love around here.
(Amazon would later tell me "Second Circle" was no longer available and cancelled it on me. I STILL WANT IT)

Since AvelCain will be officially disbanding very soon I decided that I'd translate some of their lyrics. As far as I know, the fuckyeahavelcain on tumblr are the only ones who have translated their lyrics so far.  And if I'm gonna be honest, they're not exactly the best...
 
Therefore, I bring you my own translations! Can't say that I'm that great at translating lyrics either, but I try to be faithful during my translations~ I will update this thread each time I translate more songs.
 
So far I have translated three:
囁/Sasayaki
 
自責/Jiseki
 
籠目歌ノ呪縛/Kagomeuta no jubaku

@peffyAvanchick isn't the only band that's done this. Quite a few bands sell fukubukuro as a means of getting rid of old goods that haven't been sold at buppan. Adding in a limited release adds incentive for fans to buy it. 
Not saying 5,000 yen isn't a hefty price tag, but they're not the first and certainly not the last to do it.

ohhhh dude

You can create a female character in the new South Park!! HYPE!
 
It didn't bother me much in Stick of Truth, because they basically had cross-dressing options, so I just pretended I was a girl pretending to be a boy dressed as a girl. But for this game, it sounds like characters will react to you differently based on your gender. That could be cool! OR that could be supremely offensive to me but I will probably love it! Might do two playthroughs if the game is great.. one as a boy, one as a girl.

I'm mostly curious as to why people would gamble/spend that much money for some shitty paint on their virtual guns/knives...
 
According to a PCGamer article from 2 months ago, the most expensive item is the M9 Bayonet: Crimson Web, ~$5900 (2360 keys)

 
It's a knife. With some red paint splattered on it. ................ $5900.
 
I spent like 3000 yen on some alternate outfits for Tales of Xillia and I regret it every day of my life. =_=
But at least I got anime ladies in sexy outfits for that money. 
 
Anyway, I can't really say much on the topic. I rarely use Steam, and I don't watch these types of Youtubers/Twitch streamers. Clearly they're doing something that's completely scummy, if not actually illegal, and they should be stopped. yep.
 
by the way, found this screenshot of the dude logged in as "CSGOLOTTOBOT" while streaming... ?!?!?!
 

A very popular online multiplayer shooter hosts one of the largest legal gambling rings in the country. There's a ton of information out there so I'll link a video and distill some points below for discussion
 
 
There is a large underground gambling network in CS:GO in which you can exchange skins for cash. Prizes can range anywhere from a few dollars to a few thousand dollars. Anyone as young as 14 can gamble. They don't check to make sure you are of legal age. There's some legal loophole in that this isn't illegal since you bet on skins and sell the skins for cash, but it's still gambling by another name. Net intake of these networks raked in $2.3B last year. 2.3 billion. Valve is accused of allowing these third party networks to tap into the Steam API so facilitate easy gambling. Class action lawsuit has already been filed. Video goes into a particular example of how several prominent CS:GO players founded a website for trading skins and sponsored it on YouTube through a set of videos showing them winning it big in just a few minutes, tempting others to try their luck at gambling. Kinda scummy how the owner of the websites makes videos of him gambling on his own website and winning big over other people...  
Any aspiring lawyers on MH? This looks like a nice payday.

Language > Artist > [Release Date] Album Name > [Track #] Song Name 
 
for example
Japanese > 12012 > [2009.03.11] mar maroon > 01 THE WORLD.mp3
 
"Language" pertains more to the place of origin than the actual language in the lyrics. Like, a Japanese artist that only sings in English would still be in the Japanese folder. Any Western artist gets thrown into the English folder.

I feel so stupid ><
I previously mentioned how I was having a tough time with the combat in Yakuza 0, because when I played as Majima the enemies were ridiculously aggressive and would never stop attacking me/knocking me down. I JUST realized that I had equipped an item (something like "Charisma Book") because it had good stats, but I didn't read the description. It actually increases the encounter rate and makes enemies reeeeally want to smash your face in. So, I took that off and it's back to smooth sailing.
 
But now I've been completely distracted by the Hostess Club mini-game. Majima becomes the manager of the club and you have to scout girls, train/dress up the "special' ones, and play a simulation where customers come in and you match them with a girl and do a bit of service, like interpreting hand signals to bring ice/towels/cups, and thanking the customer when their time is up. I'm so addicted to it.
 
...by the way, one of the "girls" you recruit is an old grandma with purple hair. Her special ability is "endless talking". T_T

They're supposed to be demons or something.
*shrug*
The title of the album 百鬼夜行 is an expression that means "pandemonium", a word whose etymology is pan (all) + daemonium (evil spirts/demons)
And if you interpret 百鬼夜行 literally, it means "hundred demons traveling at night"
.. maybe
 
I have a horn fetish, so I think this is Junji's best look ever. mmm. horns.

mushroom goals?

Response to doombox:
 
 
 
Response to CAT5:

Alrighty, back with some thoughts! I've been feeling iffy about this season on and off, but these last two episodes, and especially the finale just made everything worth it. Super satisfying!
 
 
Season 7 is going to be crazy!

episode 10 thoughts

 
 

it's ok, mistakes happen XD

Hmph. hmph. Smart Girl. I'll never tell
 
Since the PSP was introduced, I wanted to get it. I just couldn't justify the price. Then the VITA came out, and after all the support, I was on the fence. Then the Integration for PS4 play was introduced, and I was more interested. Then I was told that I could have my own wallpaper lol and that was more tempting.
 
Actually,  I really wanna buy and play all the MegaMan PS1 games from PS Store lol

...Oh God, you're right XD I heard and read wrong! What an idiot I am LOL 

Finally caved.......... and ordered a PS VITA. Did you guys know they were $150 on Amazon yesterday?
 
Got mine in orange . Also bought a 32GB memory card. I had no Idea Sony made them proprietary Lulz.
Just got a free copy of Persona off a friend, when he realized he had 2 for some reason lol.
 
 

@Scarlet Obsidian
Couple of questions about Suteneko
 
早く堕ちること
I think this should be 早く堕ちるとこ
 
堕ちた私を見てあなたは今回思うの?
The end of this line should be 今何思うの 
 
Otherwise, great job (with the kanji at least, I didn't look at your romaji)  
I will be double checking all the kanji once I get my CDs in, will let you know if I see any other mistakes

Thanks @Original Saku for showcasing Aragami, this is the first time I've heard of it. I love the way it looks, and the music is pretty nice too. My concern is that I'm not super into "stealth" games.. the most stealth I've played is Assassin's Creed, and those games are usually really forgiving and just let me murder everybody easily if I fuck it up. I don't think I have enough patience for "stealth" but .. definitely will keep an eye on Aragami.
 
Also will be considering Vampyr. I really loved Life is Strange, and although this is a totally different type of game, I've loved vampires since the days when I watched Buffy...( holy shit, that was almost 20 years ago... o_o ) ... ( but don't mistake me for Twilight fan, blegh )  I really hope Dontnod pulls it off. .. I wonder if eating EVERYBODY is an option. hehe.
 
As for Gravity Rush 2... I got the first game on Vita thanks to PS+ .. one day I will actually try it out... one day.................
